Trustworthiness of dark reader (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've noticed that dark reader on occasion phones home to darkreader.org, also with a increasing amount of sponsored links on their page. So what does everyone think, are they safe right now or should they not be trusted?

The recommended action when your CPU can't handle it is to switch the mode to Filter or Filter+ instead of Dynamic. It's not as good looking but it does darken the website at least.
